After going through a heart-wrenching divorce from his longtime wife Christine Baumgartner, beloved actor Kevin Costner has reportedly found love once more. Rumor has it that Costner is now dating the talented singer Jewel. The couple was recently spotted together at a tennis fundraiser for the Inspiring Children Foundation on Richard Branson’s Necker Island.
Costner’s divorce from Baumgartner was a difficult and unexpected ordeal for him. Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, citing “irreconcilable differences,” throwing Costner into a state of shock. The couple had been married for a remarkable 18 years.
“It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond Mr. Costner’s control have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action,” said a spokesperson for Costner. “We ask that his, Christine’s, and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
Costner and Baumgartner have three children together – Cayden, Hayes, and Grace, aged 15, 14, and 12 respectively. Amidst the divorce, their bitter dispute led to Baumgartner having to leave their family home, adhering to the conditions of their prenuptial agreement. Additionally, Costner is required to pay $63,209 per month in child support.
Despite the challenges he has faced, it seems that brighter days are on the horizon for Costner. Reports indicate that he and American singer Jewel are now in a relationship. The couple recently traveled together to the Caribbean, and witnesses observed their flirtatious and radiant interactions.
Jewel even made a social media post about the tennis fundraiser on Necker Island, where she mentioned Costner. She wrote, “It’s an incredible time and one I use to relax, rest, and play with my son! This year, @kevincostnermodernwest was gracious enough to mentor our youngsters.”
According to insiders, Costner and Jewel returned from the trip together. Jewel is known to be selective when it comes to her choice of partners, and insiders believe that Costner perfectly fits the bill.
